Particularly a juvenile ball python or redtail boa.

I also need the cage etc, but can go purchase if needed.

I figured I would ask here in case anyone had any connections.

BrianS,
Try Family Pet in Wareham I use to get my nice for a ball python I used to have. I have seen Baby ball pythons and red tails. Those red tails are a great lookin snake. If you are lookin for a tank and stand I might be able to get mine back from my brother in law I don't think he is using it. I think it a 20 gal. long tank with a stand I bought from a pet store. If your interested let me know I'll make a call to see if it is available.

That would be very cool if you could check.

Im actually kind of annoyed with myself. I havent owned a snake or other reptile in 3-4 years, but... it was only last year I got rid the last of my tanks...

I SO miss my big redtail.. I got it as a adoption/rescue and I think it was old then... It only lived another 3 years... However with kids and a cat, I think I might need to stick with the ball python sized snake... Although in the time it took for a redtail to get big, it wouldnt be a problem.

I have one that I would trade away if Salty's doesn't work out for you. I think it's a 20 gal.

Brian,
Sorry it took so long to get back at you but the brother in law chucked the tank and stand :af:. But I went by the pet store in Warham today to get dog food and saw baby ball pytons for $70 and baby red tails for $140.

turns out its ok

I got blindsided by my wife.. She didnt think I was serious about getting another baby baby..

I had 30 snakes at one point and several monitors that would like to kill me.. (Peachthroats are NASTY)...

In fact, I had a 12foot burmese attach itself to my buddies face (I need to find that picture)...

but no.. she is pissed I wanted a little snake.. Ill keep working on her.
